Loadshedding suspended from 12PM today.

I actually can't believe they were loadshedding yesterday. Even taking into account that Eskom requires a reserve margin, they had 28 429 + 1483 = 29 912 MW available compared to peak demand of just under 26000MW.

Likewise in a totally different area here by me, several areas off, probably about 2000+ households for between 6-18 hours depending on area

UPDATE: Stage 2 load-shedding from 4pm until 5am daily from Monday until further notice.

It's been up and down, on Saturday it was 28 almost 29GW, Friday it was 27GW. Can't base anything on that sadly.

Their system stability is +/- 3GW sometimes worse.

#stage2 load shedding will be implemented from 09:00 this morning until further notice. This is necessitated by a breakdown of a Duvha generating unit and the delay in returning to service another Duvha unit.
Eskom will provide a further update as soon as any significant changes occur.

Scary thing is, it's only 600MW one unit, and with last nights stats that doesn't actually make sense.

And the utter **** show continues. The next couple of days we're probably going to see multiple breakdowns at plants and the excuses will range from the weather to God knows what.
